I had bad luck with the Arctic Butterfly -- it seemed to just push dust around, without picking it up. The static charge when the camera (in this case a Canon 5D Mk I) powered up would just suck the dust back onto the sensor. I found that properly single stroking the sensor using the proper...

Before I bought the balance ring I experimented with filters and small lead weights. The problem is that most of the experiments were thicker, so that moved the center of gravity even farther off. So even if you could find a combination of filters that was equal to the weight of DJI's balance...

It's heavier than most filters. experiment on your own.

there's no hood with the balancing ring

If you are on Mac, Rapid Weaver works well, and is much cheaper than big brother's (Adobe) products.

Do you prefer web-based apps, or something you can use on your desktop (computer)? If desktop, what platform are you on?

This thread here -- which is about NAS/storage (which will be your next headache anyways) has a lot of good machine info as well: RAW DAS/NAS Storage And then there's this one: Video editing? I wouldn't trust what anybody told me in a Mac store. Their geniuses have a bit of training, and some...

There are many many articles of speculation about what Apple's future plans are, so I won't go into extra detail here, but as a person that has been quite close to the Apple ecosystem since 1987, I have to say I'm not hopeful. Apple has been dragging it's feet about true professional systems...

I think the point that @DennisR missed in the OP was the fact that the poster was not looking for approval to fly commercially at all, quite the contrary. He is clearly wanting to respect the law, and has said so. What his inquiry was about was whether or not the proposed flight would be...

@The Editor @IrishSights

Have you calibrated the camera? It would help us help you if you outline all procedures you are performing so that we have a better idea what is going wrong.

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool mac guy, and I really think that none of the Macs are that great now. I'm not the only one that feels this way, -- many pro users are looking for alternatives since there are not great options in Mac, and most of the best ones are not upgradeable. Even MacRumors agrees...

I'd try Dissolve.com -- they're a little more selective, and tend to pay a little better. "Renting" isn't really the term that's used... it's called "licensing". If your client is looking for a fixed (limited) term and a degree of exclusivity, that will fall under "Rights Managed".If they are...

I wonder if the the new Part 107 regs will stand. It sets such a low bar to the commercial engagement of what can be a high-risk activity. While I agree the the old rule was clunky and not a very good test of the issues/skills involved in drone operations, at least it was costly and time...

Didnt work for me -- it retracted briefly and then popped back out again.
